Well after watching from afar for a week I decided to join the forum, I’m awaiting a 3080 Rog Strix, thankfully I’m 7th in queue according to calculator (taken with a pinch of salt) but unthankfully still have no idea when they’ll arrive

I've posted this many times over the last week lol

3080 Strix OC stock is supposed to start landing next week. No mention of non-OC model though.

Have a look at video description for the key info - he says w/c 28th is Strix OC models (no mention of non-oc Strix though)
 
thanks for the update, I’ll go cry now ;)

Lol join the FB group I linked and keep your eye on it. It's run by the Asus technical product manager Juan.

Seems a decent bloke and helpful, most of his info is US based though, but I imagine EU isn't too far off the mark.
 
Still doesn't change the fact that the 2080ti was almost twice the price.

Still doesnt change the fact that two years on Nvidia are offering buyers a rebadged 2080ti with more power and a discount ;)

Disappointing tbh.

Plus anybody with a 2080ti has been enjoying that performance for 2 years and will continue to enjoy almost 3080 performance for another two years.
 
Any news on a Zotac trio delivery? Only went Zotac cause I thought it would be less popular so I was hoping I could get a card sooner, anyone else going Zotac I know from reviews there’s a 2% performance difference but right now I really couldn’t care less I just play games the drought is killing me slowly I don’t want go back into lockdown with no gpu!!! Oh god kill me now....

You are joking right? The 3080 is well ahead of the 2080ti in pretty much every benchmark i've seen, plus is much better with Ray Tracing. Extra power or not, this is the card the 2080 should have been.
Also did you not buy a 3090? That's not even a rebadged Titan as it can't even do what a Titan does.
 
PayPal change the rules.

Not with the way most etailers use PayPal! PayPal have authorised your funds (or pre-approved them) and they are held. If OCUK (and many other etailers) issues a refund then your funds are released and the transaction fee is reversed. Once your item ships the funds are captured properly - then if a regular refund is made after this they would lose the fee amount (it would cost them). The catch to this is they have ~30 days to do this or the capture / pre-authorisation can expire. If I check my account my money shows as being debited, however the transaction is still "Pre-approved payment" in PayPal and at this point a refund would cost OCUK nothing in fees.

Been watching the group closely. Great info.
 
Inno3d website says you can purchase from 3 diff UK retailers, only ocuk have them listed. Other sites haven't even listed them yet. Ocuk original ETA was 31st October heard nothing since. I'm happy to wait till early November but I willbwill annoyed if it gets to Xmas with no card or updates.

I emailed them the other day and here is the response:

Hello Mike,

Thank you for contacting INNO3D.

I expect a delivery to OC UK in short time.

An exact date I can’t give you, and If I could, it will be of no use to you, since OC UK will have a waiting list.

With best regards,

Wouter Vegter

So the optimistic side of me hopes they get them in next week. There was a post from another OCUK member saying Inno3d said they'd be in stock soon in the UK on Twitter too. Soon doesn't sound like 31st Oct, perhaps that was just a placeholder and it's been since removed and the cards will be with us shortly :)

I also saw a German youtuber running Furmark and showing temps which is the first person I've seen outside of Asia with one. So fingers crossed!

@Gibbo It would be nice to hear your take on this

Yes I ordered a Zotac Trinity for the same reason and the 5 year warranty at 9.31 on the 17th My unofficial queue number is 292. Sold my GTX1070 so I know how the wait feels.

Have you looked at the RT performance with the 3080? Leaves the 2080Ti in the dust.

Could you explain to me what the Titan can do that the 3090 cannot?

The only physical addition the Titan has is L2 cache on the hardware side.

I went for the Zotac Trinity too, my order went in at 14:04 and I'm 4 in the unofficial queue but, like most, I'm still waiting to hear anything.
